THIS WEEK AT ALL SAINTS:

From the Rector:

A big thank you to all who planned and prepared for our annual parish Christmas dinner! The food was delicious and fun and fellowship was had by all.​​This Wednesday, December 20th, we will have our last Advent Evening Prayer at 6:00 pm followed by a soup supper. We travel this final week to Epiphany, Laurens where I will give the homily. These four Wednesdays in Advent are important in our corporate life as we prepare for the Incarnation. Please come. Also, I encourage you to bring a friend and make this holy time of anticipation special.

On December 24th our regular 10:30 am service will take place as we celebrate the last Sunday of Advent. At 10:00 pm we will begin our celebration of the Incarnation of our Lord as we come together on Christmas Eve. I hope that you will join us for both the last Sunday of Advent and this wonderful celebration marking the beginning of the season of Christmas.

Just a reminder, there will be no Christian Formation this Sunday nor next, December 31st. We will resume at 9:30 on January 7th, 2018.

THE FIRST SUNDAY OUTREACH OFFERING is taken up at the close of the service on the first Sunday of each month. The January offering will benefit Boys Farm Inc.
